Feeling a little better
18 years ago
The Arctic pic made me feel a little better. It came out rather ok for the time invested in it. I could have set it aside, taken tracing paper to it and redone it again to take care of come glareing anatomy mistakes but it was all for fun.
I still have the wet t-shirt idea on the drawing board that needs to be finished.
I also have a couple of pics in my head that are really standard erotic pose fare. Sometimes I just get the feeling that doing a pose that everyone has done before seems like not trying hard enough. But thats really bunk, everyone needs to draw something and if thats what is in your head then draw it. Sure it may be derivitive, but I like to work from magazine pictures. I dont blanently copy any other artists poses.
I'm still not back to the point where I can draw poses out of my head and make them look right, so I use the inexpensive pose magazines (FHM, Maxxim, Penthouse, Playboy) to get an overall idea of pose. Then I will move the character a bit on angle. Like take a frontal shot pose and turn it to 3/4 view in my head.
